Great lightweight laptop stand!

Much sturdier than it looks, this foldable laptop stand is made from quality metal (I think aluminum because it's very light). The hinges are very firm, which is good because I wouldn't trust my $1,000 computer to a flimsy structure that might collapse. However, this one does not go anywhere without permission. It has good quality rubber pads to support the computer (or tablet) on the platform and guards to keep the machine from sliding off the front. The bottom is also well padded to keep the metal from scratching the table (like the wood it's on in the picture). The build quality is top notch and the two hinges haven't loosened at all after using them daily for over a month now - the platform stops where I want it and doesn't move until I move it but that is not required to force to open or close Hulk mode (be careful if you use it for the first time though, it draws more power than you expect until you get used to the stiffness of the joints!). I've been testing and expanding this device with my laptop on it and as you might imagine the taller it is the more it wants to shake when you tap on it - honestly who does that? Grab an external keyboard and use it to lift the laptop. It's just awkward to put your hands up and try to type like that. Aside from that, which I can't blame the physics for, this laptop stand exceeds my expectations for ease of use, stability, build quality, and overall value. It almost makes me wish I had a second laptop so I could get another one. .My only complaint is that it doesn't fold even smaller to carry around. in my backpack along with my computer, books, etc. and I feel good that nothing comes out damaged. Since I mostly use this at home when I'm not in the office, I'm not complaining at all. The rest of this laptop's qualities more than make up for the fact that it's not ultraportable. And honestly, if they had to sacrifice build quality or rigidity or the overall feel of this thing for portability, it would be a shame. This laptop stand is by far the best I've ever used, and that includes homemade ones that I've customized to the exact specs I wanted. Excellent purchase!
